More disaster plagued the Motorcycle Cannonball riders as they covered another 218-miles of their 3,304 transcontinental ride across America.
Even the sweep trucks are groaning under the pressure and one gave up entirely along the backroads of West Virginia.
German rider #61 lost his engine when the cylinder top blew off.
A whopping 25 riders finished off the day with zero points, which included both Sharon and Scott Jacobs who remain at the hospital in Maryland awaiting Scott’s shoulder surgery after his crash.
By day’s end in Chillicothe, Ohio just 27 riders still have a perfect score, but the route is taking the pack through some amazing country and riders are enjoying the ride. As long at the ancient machinery holds out…
Ranking after stage 3 after the jump.
good luck to all
Heroes every one!
Wow this is a tough race. Can’t help but think of those super tough men and women who first went cross country on basically dirt trails.
What is the ” * ” in the miles ridden? It starts in the second day at Chris Sommer Simmons entry. I thought it may be penalty, but not all riders with penalty have this. Anyone know?
